As a result assistant boss Sean O'Driscoll and first team coach Gary McAllister are expected to follow Rodgers out of the club.

As it stands both O'Driscoll and McAllister still remain in position and they are scheduled to take training at Melwood on Tuesday for those players who aren't on international duty. However, they know they are on borrowed time.

The appeal for FSG of securing the services of Klopp is clear. The 48-year-old German transformed Dortmund into one of the most exciting teams in Europe as they won back to back Bundesliga titles and reached the 2013 Champions League final.

The charismatic coach breathed new life into the team which had lost its way and FSG believe he can repeat the trick at Anfield. Klopp has been out of management since he stepped down in May but has made it known in recent weeks that he’s ready to cut short his sabbatical.

Former Germany midfielder Stefan Effenberg believes his close friend is ideally suited to Liverpool.

“He gave me this answer a couple of weeks ago. He said: ‘I’m ready for a team that’s not on the highest level, to create something, to build something up’. This could be Liverpool, right?” he said.

“Liverpool is one of the greatest atmospheres. It’s pretty much the same as Dortmund. The fans stay with everything behind the club and this is what Jurgen Klopp likes and what he needs.

“So maybe, very soon, we’ll hear something from Jurgen Klopp, to make a decision, maybe, for Liverpool.”

Former Reds midfielder Didi Hamann has also backed Klopp to transform the Reds’ fortunes.

“The emotions in Liverpool need to be awakened,” he said.

“The people have lost faith in the team and it is important that someone comes who rouses the people again and gets things going.

“Jurgen Klopp, who lives out his passion and love for the game, would fit wonderfully to Liverpool’s mentality. He would be the ideal solution for me.”

Rodgers, who was under contract until 2018, has flown to Spain for a short holiday before considering his options.

Talks are ongoing over a compensation package with his sacking expected to cost Liverpool around £7million.
